Produktbeschreibung
Beginning Ministry Together is about the transition period between the announcement that one pastor is leaving and the time when another pastor is well settled. The message brought by Roy Oswald and colleagues Jim and Ann Heath is that this is not an impossible time to be survived only with a lot of expert help.

He shows them how to say good-bye and discern their needs for the future-how to use the open space between pastorates for evaluation and preparation for a new day.
